Hi Luke and welcome to everyone who recently joined BTS.
I think the move from less aggressive to more aggressive Ts is governed not only by the species but how well you maintain the enclosure. Many of the more aggressive species require a higher humidity, more moisture and generally an environment that might invite some problems with your enclosure eg. mites, phorid flies, fungus etc. If you can maintain such an environment without too much worry about getting your hands in there then you're good to go. I'd suggest trying Avics, Taps or Psalmo's first as I think these make a good interim step before you take on the pokies, baboons and earth tigers.
I am new to tarantula keeping so I am very glad to have found this forum!
I recently bought a Chaco Golden Knee juvenilue (female) which my daughter has named Poppy! She is fascinating to watch and somehow very cute! I have posted a question in another section as I have a query re heating.
Welcome to the forum Melissa. Nice start to your collection (notice i said "nice start, lol!" Im sure she wont be your last. I started in march with my first T and now have 31! Lol!
Hello my name is ConceiĂ§Ă£o, i'm from Portugal.
I know BTS for a while, it's an huge reference for me but never participate.
Now my husband decided to ask some help with our T. Blondi and we decided to participate more.
We have tarantulas for 15 years... Pedro already show pics of some of our baby girls.
Maybe we will meet soon...
Welcome to all new members, and it's nice to see members from overseas, I'm sure there'll be lots of interest and help on hand for us all to gain knowledge on this fascinating/addictive hobby lol.
Hi, my name is Guy and I've been collecting tarantulas for several years now. I've always had a fascination with spiders; it was a couple of years ago that I met a girl on a forum who was selling some spiderlings and I jumped at the chance. I bought a Brachypelma albopilosum and a Nhandu chromatus, and just recently I bought myself a Grammostola pulchripes. I'm far from satisfied and will be adding more to my collection as time goes on.
